It's more efficient under acceleration. Saying that though, the difference is minimal so you probably wouldn't notice the difference. It's handy to have the top tube there to lean against with your leg though, I suppose it's mainly personal preference.
Personally I would have a minimal slope in the TT so that my leg leans against it in a different place to where it does now.
